Very nice...but you don't wanna melt the cheese?

cheese on top~

​

heat rises, and helps melt the cheese - gravity pulls the cheese down, to melt all over everything else.

Agreed but I'm following the McD config.

It is! If you have an itch to try it again, I recommend some butter on the English muffin and brown that butter face down in the skillet. It tastes amazing and should be hot enough to melt the cheese nicely. I use some silicon egg rings so I have room to heat / cook everything in one skillet.

Yes but after that, take this bad boy, wrap it in some parchment paper or foil, throw it in a toaster oven on warm or something similar. Let that thing sweat and soften the rest of the bread, cheese will be perfectly melted, and it perfectly matches that Don's texture after you speed home.

Nice, that’s a good tip. I’ve done the brown butter heating on a bagel in the past. It can make the most days old stale bagel taste like new just with butter face down, like it’s steaming as well. I’ll have to try this next time!

I also do this for things like burritos and cheesesteaks. Gives a much more cohesive item when everything gets some time to get aquainted with each other.

Honestly since Maccys have started storing meat in humidifiers at 70degsC the meat isn’t hot enough to melt the cheese.

All maccys beef burgers are also served almost cold because of this.

I miss the old days of hot and fresh maccys, and when the fries were cooked in 45% beef tallow.

It still pisses me off that we lost one of the best cooking fats because some millionaire wouldn't stop stuffing his face and paid for studies to assuage his guilt.
